Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dictionary of the Tebele Shuna Languages: With Illustrative Sentences and Some Grammatical Notes In the sentences at the end of the volume and in the Notes on Grammar will be found a few examples of dialect differences, but generally no note has been taken of these on account of inadequate knowledge. The aid of all settlers in Southern Zambesia is requested in the preparation of a really satisfactory dictionary of the language of the Mashuna. Notes in the margin of the vocabularies on any peculiarities of speech, observed and examined with care, would be of great value. Attention may be called especially to the examination of new words, of new meanings and forms of already recorded words, of variations in prefixes of nouns from those here set forth, of the use of double prefixes, of the past and perfect tenses indicative of the verb, and generally the moods and tenses, and idiomatic expressions, in which the Shuna language is believed to be very rich. Interleaved copies of this Dictionary may be obtained from Messrs. Whiteley Walker. A valuable foundation in grammar has already been laid by Fr. Hartmann. The orthography adopted here is different in some respects from that used by Fr. Hartmann; but after fourteen years' residence in Matebele Land, I had fixed my Spelling before his was printed, and I see no reason to make alteration now. Different types have been used for the two languages, clarendon for the Tebele, and small capitals for the Shuna, throughout the book. This, it is hoped, will conduce to clearness. The apposition of Tebele and Shuna words in Vocabulary I. Does not imply any correspondence of meaning in those words.

Download or read book Language Planning in Africa written by Nkonko Kamwangamalu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume focuses on language planning in the Cameroon, Sudan and Zimbabwe, explaining the linguistic diversity, historical and political contexts, current language situation (including language-in-education planning), the role of the media, the role of religion and the roles of non-indigenous languages. The authors are indigenous to the situations described, and draw on their experience and extensive fieldwork there. The extended case studies contained in this volume draw together the literature on each of the polities to present an overview of the existing research available, while also providing new research-based information. The purpose of this volume is to provide an up-to-date overview of the language situation in each polity based on a series of key questions, in the hope that this might facilitate the development of a richer theory to guide language policy and planning in other polities where similar issues may arise. This book comprises case studies originally published in the journal Current Issues in Language Planning.
